What We Need
2K is looking for an experienced and strategic Producer to join our Core Games Publishing team. You will collaborate closely with Gearbox and internal publishing groups to support milestone delivery, cross-functional alignment, and operational execution across one or more high-profile AAA projects. Reporting to a Senior Producer or Lead Producer, you will serve as a player-obsessed leader, guiding the delivery of features and milestones in a timely manner and to a high degree of quality. You will help manage the execution of project plans, identify and mitigate risks, and maintain clear lines of communication across all stakeholders. This is a role for someone who thrives in a fast-paced, creatively ambitious environment and who brings clarity, ownership, and accountability to complex, cross-functional efforts.
What You Will Do

Identify opportunities for innovation in established workflows and in the delivery of product quality or features.
• Judgment & Decision-Making: Support milestone planning and delivery by collaborating with development and publishing partners to ensure the right information flows to the right people at the right time. Balance scope, schedule, and cost tradeoffs to support delivery outcomes; understand resource tradeoffs and downstream impacts, escalating risk appropriately.
• Production Leadership: Manage execution for defined features, workstreams, or a product. Contribute to product planning to balance the competing priorities of quality, time, and cost. Advise leadership on project risks and opportunities. Resolve daily operational and development challenges, propose mitigation strategies, and coordinate across functions to ensure milestone success.
• Collaboration & Relationship Building: Develop strong working relationships with studio and publishing peers. Align multiple disciplines around shared goals; ensure coordination across workstreams and surface gaps or misalignments.
• Communication: Craft clear, concise updates for stakeholders at all levels. Support the creation of decks, reports, and milestone documentation that guides decisions and supports transparency. Build alignment across development and publishing teams through structured communication.
• Player-Focus: Advocate for the player experience in planning and tradeoffs during all stages of development. Work closely with Research, Community, Data Science, and Product Management teams to ensure player impact is consistently represented in feature prioritization and execution decisions. Maintain awareness of player sentiment and expectations throughout the lifecycle of the product, ensuring design intent meets player needs.
• Quality-Focus: Maintain a high bar for quality across all deliverables, from milestone builds to final polish. Proactively track quality risks, increase visibility across teams, and support prioritization efforts to deliver the resolution of known issues. Ensure the game delivers a consistently engaging and stable player experience across platforms and releases.
